Downtown Detroit's Hidden Architectural Gems

When most people think of Detroit, it's the gritty auto industry, financial corruption or large-scale bankruptcy that come to mind. But for much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Detroit was one of America's greatest cities and, because of a legacy of great architecture in the early 20th century, many knew Detroit as the "Paris of the West." Although the Gilded Age of great Downtown Detroit has long since ended, a visit to the Capitol Park Historic District still bears the reminders of a variety of landmark buildings that are as breathtaking to behold now as they were in the Gilded Age itself.
